Feature #6: Transmission Error
Explore how to detect transmission errors in network routes by verifying if the request and response packets follow the same path with at most one diversion router. Learn to implement this using palindrome checks and two-pointer traversal techniques, helping maintain network topology integrity.
We'll cover the following...
Description
In our network protocol, response packets take the same route (in reverse) back to the source as the request packet did to the destination. Sometimes the path may differ due to errors, and we can tolerate at most one diversion router. The path, in terms of IDs of routers along the way, is recorded in an array present inside the packet. We need to identify the paths with more than one diversion router, so our topology remains intact and transmission error occurs.
We’ll be provided with an array of integers representing the router IDs. The routers at the start and end of the path will always be the same. The first half of the array will show the request packet’s path from source to destination, while the second half will show the response packet’s path from the ...
